We have re-opened our search for a 3-year AI-research postdoc at NYU's Center for Social Media, AI, and Politics!! The position starts this **September 1st** (or as soon as possible thereafter) and is in person at NYU. If necessary, we will also consider a 1/1/27 start. 1/3

People never learn. Unless they're on LinkedIn, then they learn all the time and the lessons are everywhere. People never change. Unless they're on LinkedIn, then everything does so "completely."

I’m joining Cornell as an Assistant Professor in Computer Science this fall! My group will work on probabilistic machine learning for scientific discovery. I’m recruiting PhD students to start in Fall 2027 -- and stay tuned for postdoc opportunities!

tomorrow (today over in Korea) Haruka will be presenting this paper in the ICML. working on this project with her (and folks at Meta) is part of what convinced me to revamp my undergraduate RL course (more on that later). check out the poster at the Wednesday poster session! arxiv.org/abs/2605.26385

Credit-assigned Policy Gradient for Early Stage Retrieval in Two-stage Ranking

Large-scale search, recommendation, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems typically employ a two-stage architecture: an early-stage ranker (ESR) generates a candidate set, which is subseque...

New paper! The Linear Representation Hypothesis is a powerful intuition for how language models work, but lacks formalization. We give a mathematical framework in which we can ask and answer a basic question: how many features can be stored under the hypothesis? 🧵 arxiv.org/abs/2602.11246
